The organization U.S. Right to Know (USRTK) accessed an email sent to Anthony Fauci revealing that he has known since at least January 2020, that the U.S. was funding coronavirus research in China. This is one of the points that the doctor repeatedly denied during the pandemic, such as in his appearance before the Senate in 2021 when he assured Congressman Rand Paul that the NIH "has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
NIAID has been funding coronavirus research in China since 2015
However, according to the email obtained by USRTK from January 27, 2020, one of Fauci's aids explained that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which he led for decades, had been funding research on novel coronaviruses in China for several years. The Wuhan Institute of Virology was one of the labs that received money from the United States.

Worrying results of Wuhan investigation
The email clearly specifies that researcher Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Group received public funding for its research to try and better "understand the risks of bat coronavirus emergence." They studied people with high exposure to bats in China and analyzed whether they were infected by the new viruses.
Daszak and his team also discovered new viruses, including 52 SARSr-CoV. In addition, they warned that several of the newly discovered infectious agents "can bind to human cells." In tests with humanized mice, exposure to these pathogens led to illnesses similar to those caused by SARS. In addition, they warned that "the clinical signs of SARS-CoV bat in mice were not prevented with a candidate SARS-CoV vaccine, and were not treatable with most monoclonal therapies that are being developed."
